Typed-in Choices

the code:

input Question? | Question? | Done (ANSWER)

“Question?” can be replaced by whatever you want your typed-in choice question to be. Most people use “What is your name?” to let readers type in their own names. Notice how Question? is repeated. You need to add in your question twice in the code.

The word “Done” can be anything you want it to be. This is the button you tap when you have completed typing in your choice. It can say “Finished”, “Unlock”, “Okay”, etc…

ANSWER inside of the parentheses () is what you are going to refer to the answer to. When you want your character’s to talk about the typed-in response, wrap straight brackets around the ANSWER, like this: [ANSWER].

The input code does not show on the web previewer. You will need to test this code using the app

Here are some examples:

input What is your name? | What is your name? | Done (NAME)
input What is the password? | What is the password? | Unlock (PASSWORD)
input Enter the 4 digit code. | Enter the 4 digit code. | Activate! (CODE)
input Text your boyfriend. | Text your boyfriend. | Send (TEXT)
NARRATOR
[NAME] is such a pretty name!
[PASSWORD] is not the correct password.
You typed in: [CODE]. That is incorrect.
BOYFRIEND
What did you mean when you sent me “[TEXT]”?

“Unlocking” typed-in choices!

Here I’ll show you how to “unlock” things by typing in the passcode, where readers cannot continue unless they type in the right words or numbers.You’ll need to use labels, gotos, and the if/else code.

Thank you so much for this! I have a question about the unlocking choice tho, So what if we give the reader a background which contains a splash which is a letter that contains a code and the readers have to crack the code. So we let them see the background for about 10 seconds like this.
INT. CODE LETTER (my fake background name)@pause for 10

Then we let them do the unlocking choice to see if they can crack the code. But of they get the code wrong how can we have an option to let them view the INT. CODE LETTER BACKGROUND again? So they can preview the page again to see if they can find the code?
